The Apparatus

The latest information about The Dillinger Escape Plan's highly anticipated follow-up to Miss Machine due out November 5, 2007 on Relapse Records

Teaser trailer:

“We start official album tracking this week in the secret underground recording location in Alaska.

Ben is flying there. Probably first class. Maybe a private jet. Cause he rolls like that. Honestly I think it’s because he wants to get there a couple days before me and Liam get there cause he needs those days of peace. We’re gonna fight one another and Steve Evetts battle royale style probably for about 90% of the time.

Liam and I are driving there because we’re fucking crusty and don’t give a fuck and we’ll probably have more adventures driving anyway. Or we’ll kill one another/ourselves because:

A) we’re both assholes

B) we have vowed to not sleep the entire time by any means necessary and he has fucking narcolepsy anyway and may fall asleep behind the wheel

C)after “Dyer’s Eve” plays for the five hundredth time with the stereo dimed he will hurl himself from the car

D)after the five hundredth Bjork song I will hurl myself from the car

Regular updates from the studio soon. If you see me and Liam on the highway do not engage us. We are basically more or less gonna be rock n roll zombie after the first 24 hours of nonstop driving and will probably run you off the road.

Oh yeah here’s a little snack…

And a positive message for everyone out there.”

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN have entered the studio to begin work on their brand new, full-length album.

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN are teamed with long-time engineer Steve Evetts at Omen Room Studios in Los Angeles, CA to begin tracking songs. The band will remain in LA through July to complete work on the record. The drum tracks were recorded at Sonikwire Studios by Gil Sharone (STOLEN BABIES, PUSCIFER). A Fall ‘07 release date is expected via Relapse Records.

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN have posted a number of video teasers leading up to their time in the studio, including snip-its of the writing process, their high-speed cross-country travels to the studio, and a Sopranos‘-esque montage, that all can be viewed at this location.

“We have a few things you don’t have…..Little somethin’ called 13 NEW TRACKS.

A little record, you may have heard of it, called “Ire Works,” maybe you guys should get into it sometime when it comes out.

Oh right, we forgot, it doesn’t come out for a couple months.

Ring ring…Hello? Hang on hang on I gotta turn this music down…I’m listening to a killer new record by a little band maybe you should check out sometime called OURSELVES.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Recording is complete. October US major city tour of rooms tighter than your dad’s haircut is gonna be announced any day, bands and dates coming reeeeeaal soon. Thanks for the show of support for Brian, it means a lot. We love you all.”

“Over the past year and a half, the most chaotic time of our career, many have speculated on our possible demise, including ourselves at times. Now after everything, we have what we feel is easily the best album we have ever created, and the feeling in the air has never been more exciting. We are proud to announce that ‘Ire Works‘ will be coming out on November 13th, and that we will be embarking on our first North American headlining tour since Dec 2005 in October. All dates will be posted as they are confirmed, some are up now. Support will come from A LIFE ONCE LOST, GENGHIS TRON, and BEHOLD…THE ARCTOPUS.

More album updates, including tracklisting and maaaaaybe a new song in our player, tour dates, and video blogs, coming soon. Stay tuned. We’re fucking back. A little something we like to call ‘kicking everyone’s ass’ is about to happen. Thank you all for waiting. Can’t wait to see you all.

PS. For all you dorks that like to get involved in message boards, we now have one of our very own here. Word on lame street has it that Ben Weinman hangs out there in his time off from full time ass kicking answering questions about anything from gear to shows to swamp monsters. Register and talk shit about one another, arrange where to meet to come to our shows, start a gang, talk about how cool or uncool we used to be or are, or speculate on how you can all help initiate our new stage left guitar geek Jeff Tuttle when you see him onstage. Tackling, thrown objects, heckles, or all of the above are accepted.

PPS. Most of our previous video blogs are up in MySpace video, and our new ones will be there as well, so now you can just click there and check them out instead of searching on YouTube for things like ‘coolest videos ever’ or ‘most handsome drummer.’”

“So check it out. One month from now our new album drops. So to tide you over for another thirty days we just put up another song called “Lurch.” It’s a fucking face melter. So if getting your face melted off is your idea of a good time I suggest you go check it out.

You can pre-order “Ire Works” now, go here to the Relapse store and do it. OR if you are feeling extra god-like you can get it with a new limited edition DILLINGER shirt over here. Either one is acceptable. If you listen to kingly shit but have no desire to dress like a king click on the first link, if you listen to kingly shit and also wanna look equally kingly, click on the second. You come out ahead either way really.

Lets see what else….we’re doing tons of promo stuff for the record, answering the same questions 200 different times, so if you happen to read magazines you’ll be seeing our lovely faces in a bunch of them, we’ll try to keep you updated on bigger articles. We have some new pics in the pic section, what else, Ben’s foot is healing nicely, he’ll be ready to roll for the rescheduled dates, which will be announced soon. Some of you are still pretending that we’re playing in October or November, let me remind everyone again that we are NOT playing any shows in the US in October, and none in Europe/UK in November. EVERYTHING is being rescheduled. We’ll get the new stuff finalized and announced soon. So stop sending messages saying “Can’t wait to see you tomorrow in blah blah blah” cause it just bums us out and is just plain not true, unless blah blah blah is the Rockaway Diner, cause then you’re probably right.

Jeff got about 4000 phone calls, thanks for that. Feel free to keep calling.

Head over to Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn on the 22nd (next monday night) of this month, I’m gonna be doing a little guest DJ spot and will be spinning nonstop ‘87 everything. Punk, hardcore, thrash, garage, noise, and whatever else falls under the “rock that doesn’t suck” category. Ben’s coming too and we’re gonna throw new DEP songs in the mix as the night progresses. Come out and say hi and bring gifts. It’ll be easy to find us, we’ll be the really really really good looking guys in the back…if good looking means short. John LaMacchia of CANDIRIA and SPYLACOPA fame bartends, so it’s gonna be a pretty good time. We’re gonna sit around and talk about polyrhythms all night…..nope.

Pssshhh….Gil Sharone was on FULL FUCKING HOUSE. Pass it on. He didn’t ever want us to see that shit but he should know better then to think we’re gonna find out about anything and let it slide. Ah fuck..this shit is rich. Seriously though don’t be embarassed man! Jeff was teenage Rudy in The Cosby Show!

So recap. Go crank the new song, preferably at maximum volume, pre-order our new record with or sans shirt, watch Gil do a cheer and talk about being chafed on Full House, come out to Lucky 13 on the 22nd, keep calling JT, and stay tuned for our new tour dates.”
